Planning on sewing a bra

 I'm so thoroughly fed up trying to find a decent fitting bra that I'm going to try sewing my own made to measure.  I'm currently watching loads of YouTube videos and think I'll try a vintage style non wired one. I'll let you know how I get on.  Weather today is absolutely gorgeous and I've spent the day pottering around the house and garden while Tony was out doing his National trust day.

  1. I gave up on bras when I retired, I wear a heavy duty vest top.

    1. I'd need a really heavy duty vest. My size 36g lady bumps need all the support they can get

  2. Having been all my life a M&S follower, I now get mine from Asda.

    1. I loved M and S bras. Sadly our shop closed and I too wear Asda ones.

  3. I've never had enough boobage to justify wearing one! x

  4. Oh wow, good luck! I'd be interested to know how it goes.
    I hate bra shopping. They are either all too pointy or too droopy (lol). I did finally find one I liked and bought several of the same kind.

    1. I've got an old sheet to cut up and practice with so it's not going to cost much.

  5. That sounds like a fantastic project! Sewing your own bra can be such a rewarding experience, especially when it comes to achieving the perfect fit. Vintage-style non-wired bras are a lovely choice—comfortable and charming! I’m excited to hear how it goes once you get started.

    It sounds like you had a lovely day enjoying the beautiful weather! Potting around the house and garden is such a nice way to relax. Did you do any gardening or just enjoy the sunshine? I hope you find some inspiration from the videos you're watching. Good luck with your sewing, and I can’t wait to hear about your progress!
